The story of La Conquista de los Andes
November 1532, high in the Andes. Francisco Pizarro leads fewer than two hundred Spaniards into the city of Cajamarca.
Across the valley, the campfires of the Inca emperor Atahualpa stretch to the horizon, an army estimated at eighty thousand warriors.
The Spaniards hide in the buildings around the plaza, terrified, praying through the night. When Atahualpa enters the square, cannons thunder, horses charge and trumpets blast.
In a single afternoon the emperor is captured, and the greatest empire in the Americas is shaken to its core.
A handful of men walked into the unknown, and to those who saw them, they came out as gods.
